I encountered the same problem when sorting by
translated country names.  Attached is a simple
test case:  Running »xsltproc sort.xsl names.xml«
will produce the following list:

| <word>Deutschland</word>
| <word>Dänemark</word>
| <word>a</word>
| <word>b</word>
| <word>c</word>
| <word>Ä</word>
| <word>ä</word>

This is wrong, »names.xml« is already sorted
so the order should not change.

It seems that language dependent sorting is
not supported in textproc/libxslt.  The file
»FEATURES« of libxslt-1.1.0 contains the following:

| YES			      xsl:sort
| YES				select = string-expression
| NO				lang = { nmtoken }

Hiroki's work is such a big time saver that
I consider to commit the German version with the
slightly displaced ordering.  This might give
me the time to think about a solution for the
problem instead of sorting manually :-)
